Cows graze below the 14,000 peak of Mt Antero on the Western Slope of Colorado.
Mount Antero is the eleventh highest peak in Colorado, with an elevation of 14,276 feet. Also known as Antero Peak, it is named for Chief Antero of the Uintah band of Utes. It is located in the central Sawatch Range in Chaffee County between the towns of Buena Vista and Salida. The mountain itself is prized for its gemstone deposits and has one of the highest concentrations of aquamarine in the country. There are several active private mining claims being exploited on Mt. Antero and surrounding peaks.
